About

The Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities invites you to the “Topologies of Air” exhibition by Shona Illingworth on Tuesday, 27 September 2022, through 5 January 2023 at the Bahrain National Museum. The exhibition is presented by The Wapping Project, London, with support from Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities, Sharjah Art Foundation, the British Council, Arts Council England, and the University of Kent. Topologies of Air, an immersive three-screen and surround sound installation, traverses the cultural, geopolitical, environmental, technological, and psychological layers of the sky, building an image of a complex and contested space, both shared and personal, and with a long history and rapidly changing future. The installation invites us to consider the space above our heads, once open to our dreams and imaginings, as a territory undergoing radical transformations through human activities that, in turn, are reshaping our present and future.
